15 Best Things to Do in Bournemouth (Dorset, England
"In the west of Bournemouth and removed from the livelier pier area, Alum Chine Beach is a calmer place to spend a summer afternoon. The Blue Flag beach has a typical mixture of sand and shingles, and given its location is more frequented by locals and people with holiday homes in Branksome and Canford Cliffs. If you have kids in tow, a fun way to get there is on the Land Train, running along the promenade from Bournemouth Pier."

It’s particularly popular with families with toddlers thanks to the amazing Treasure Island themed adventure playground and the land train to Bournemouth Pier. Like other beaches in Bournemouth, there are RNLI lifeguards, baby changing facilities and lost children centres too."

A particular favourite of families due to the massive pirate-themed playground, the crystal clear waters and sandy shore line is more than inviting. Boasting beautiful tropical gardens on the cliff face, this area is well worth a visit and is a welcome break from the busy the town centre further down the promenade."

19 Things To Do In Bournemouth With Toddlers in 2021
"Hengistbury is one of Bournemouth’s quieter and most unspoilt beaches thanks to its location away from the main sprawl and the fact that it’s a pebble beach surrounded by incredible, imposing cliffs. While it might not be quite as toddler-friendly as some of the more central Bournemouth beaches, there’s still plenty here to entertain, including a beautiful nature reserve and regular ferry transfers over to Mudeford. Lots of parking and a café mean you can stay here all day if you wish!"

"Boscombe Beach is the centre of Bournemouth’s surfing scene and sits to the east of Bournemouth itself. Real explorers can zigzag down from the clifftop, or you can take the Art Deco lift for a more leisurely appreciation of the sea views. The Boscombe Pier is a great spot for a stroll – it’s recently undergone a £2.4 million refurbishment and is the perfect viewpoint to catch the surfers or watch the fishermen at the end."

Boscombe’s Chine Gardens are slightly less busy than the Lower Gardens, Central Gardens and Upper Gardens, so they’re a great place to escape the crowds. They’re also a wildlife habitat, and there’s a wildlife quiz trail where you can learn more about the park’s local inhabitants."
